Matthias Gaul Riesling stone rattle

The Matthias Gaul Riesling Steinrassel is not a wine you simply drink—it's one you understand the longer you listen to it. Winemaker Matthias Gaul from the Palatinate region vinifies this terroir wine from a vineyard that literally lives up to its name: the old Mühlheim Sonnenberg vineyard is so full of stones that they rattled under the tilling equipment. This stony subsoil is no accident, but rather a deliberate design choice—it shapes every sip.

In the glass, this Riesling reveals itself as densely structured and possessing genuine depth . The aromas range from fresh grapefruit and vibrant citrus notes to a hint of ripe peach—fruity, but never cloying. What distinguishes this wine is the interplay of fruit, rounded body, and a pronounced minerality that immediately recalls the stony soil of its origin. Not an artificial stylistic device, but true terroir.

This Riesling is a particularly compelling accompaniment to substantial dishes : fish in butter sauce, scallops, creamy risottos, or a mature Comté cheese are ideal partners. It also shines when paired with Asian cuisine—such as Thai curry or dim sum. Those who enjoy it on its own should allow it some time in the glass. It opens up, and what unfolds is well worth the patience.

The Winery

Matthias Gaul

Matthias Gaul runs his winery in Grünstadt-Asselheim as the fourth generation of a winemaking family that laid the foundation in 1956 with its first bottled wine.

At the northernmost tip of the German Wine Route, where winds from the Eistal valley provide a cool microclimate, he grows mainly Pinot varieties on 35 hectares – partly in high-density planting at an altitude of 300 meters, on pure limestone rock.

VINUM named him "King of Pinot" in 2017, and he won the German Red Wine Prize twice. Anyone who drinks his Pinot Gris or Pinot Noir tastes why this is no empty award.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
